Yesterday, "rain showers" actually meant someone opened up a fire hose in
the sky. My shasta daisies were almost 5 feet tall, and now they're
flattened. I don't see any broken stems. They're just laying down as if to
say "I'm not takin' any chances". If I cut them back maybe halfway, can I
expect them to flower again? Most of the buds are in the top 1/3rd of the
current stems.

Once dry I would stack some upright. Right now just about every thing
has been knocked down big time. Violent storm winds and heavy rains
hope some I did not already support do so on their own. About a inch
and a half in 20 minutes with gust that almost looked like a fog with
lighting. Just put my Mac back online and wonder why my old cat early
warning system did not work ?

You mean "stake," right? :-)
We were out driving in it. Branches across the road, a real biblical rain.

Even so, it didn't wash the bird crap off my windshield. I think those
creatures are in cahoots with whoever makes Gorilla Glue.

LOL
I add a refill bottle of fruit/veggies wash/surfactant to my solution
with each refill.
Had to after Tom stored turkey fryer oil in an empty ww solution bottle
and it ended up in my ww solution reservoir.
